Robert and I were walking thru RBG Kew and came across a bunch of colour on the ground. R asked, “what’s that?” I said, “a tween craze bracelet made with something called Rainbow Loom.” And you know how once you notice something you just keep seeing it? We found five on the ground as we walked along and every child was wearing them. By the end of the day we were shaking our heads…lol. Most entertaining. :D

becs, the bug…i know! it was kind of cool though…this is a wheel bug shedding its skin. and now, a few days later {it’s still hanging around our back deck} the orange has changed to the grayish-brown you see in its old skin. i’m not a fan of bugs, but this guy is really pretty cool. plus he’s supposed to prey on japanese beetles…which will be appreciated, as there are so many this summer ;)
